Patient denied use of medical marijuana, despite doctors’ warnings that it may save her life.

Exactly what right does the American government have to tell private citizens what they can or can’t do with their own bodies, in any case? Nicotine and alcohol are both legal, and yet somehow marijuana, which actually has verifiable medical use, is not.

Taxpayer dollars should be going toward issues that matter. The criminalization of drugs is precisely what makes ‘drug culture’ so dangerous. A market economy with competition and quality control would limit deaths by overdose as well as the spread of disease.
